I've seen temps hit 86C+ with two PLEX (v0.9.9.0) transcodes running at once. I saw it peak up near 72C with just a single transcode, where CPU usage was reported by top at up to 250% (for the process...

After tweaking up PWM1 (before my trip, so my PLEX sync didn't melt the CPU), I woke from my post-return-flight nap to a series of CPU temperature warnings. PLEX was batch transcoding some new programs that came in, for later syncing. So even though I tweaked PWM1 way up, something else tweaks it down... over which I guess we have no manual control.
I am running 6.1.9 RC... perhaps I should cross-link to beta forum?
